my friend Mr.. Follott, who seems to
think there is some mystery that needs
clearing up. Go ahead, Folliott, your
turn first, concluded Tom, with grin
as he dropped into seat.
Thereupon Mr.. Folliott explained
that, in the course of his pedestrian
tour, it occurred to him to look up a
friend who was making a short stay
somewhere in that neighborhood. This
friends name was Estabrook-George
Estabrook, not Tom--he had not
known that Tom Estabrook lived in
that locality.
"But you'd be likely to know it an

Mr.. Folliott continuing, said that
his happening to mistake the place had
led to the whole subsequs mt comedy OF
errors. He apologized for having ac-
cepted their hospitality under false
pretences, and remarked that he had
made several Intellectual efforts to
place himself in his true colors. When
he realized the position, after being in,
as he felt convinced that his explana-
tions would not be credited, he thought
he might as well accept the situation
with what philosophy he could muster
until the march of events should right

the story was finished. "Mother,

telegram was produced, and read aloud
amid much laughter.

A Perilous Pursuit


The natives of the Alaska Seal

of the "cliff dwellers," and do not hes
itate to risk their lives in the most fool
hardy manner to obtain the much.
coveted article of food. A common
way OF obtaining the eggs of birds
making their nests here is 10 lower a
native down over the face of the cliff
by means of stout rope made of
walrus or sea-lion hide. After he has
filled pouch, which he carries with
him, he is hauled up again by his COM
panions above. A curious and fright
tul accident happened at St. George
some years since, by which a native
lost his life while engaged in gathering
eggs. He had been lowered over the
cliff and was busily engaged in filling
his pouch, when for some reason his
companions were called away for a
moment, leaving the egg-hunter dau-
Cling against the side of the precipice.
In that moment hungry fox which
had been lowering near by, attracted
by the grease and oil in the rope, seized
it and in moment gnawed it in two.
When the natives returned they found
the rope cut in twain by the sharp
teeth OF the fox, and their companion
crushed into shapeless mass upon the
jagged rocks 1000 feet elow.-Sdn

How and When to Plant Seeds.

The first important step taken to-
ward the cultivation of a crop is the
obtaining of good seed. Next come
considerations of soil and depth of
planting. The temperature and mois-
ture of the ground have more to do
with the successes and failures yearly
recorded than is generally acted upon.
Wheat and barley, for instance, while
they struggle through the ground at
the extreme temperatures of Al de-
grees and 100 degrees, germinate most
rapidly, other conditions being equal,
at about 81 degrees. Corn does best
at say 90 degrees, though it will ger
inmate at from so TO lis degrees. The
squash, bean and pea all terminate
quickly at about the same temperature
as that given for corn. Clover seed
often fails because sown at time of
insufficient moisture, while millet, for
instance, under similar conditions Of
dryness will secure good catch.
Every one who plants at all under.
stands that the size of the seed has
much to do with the depth of covering
required, and farmers with one accord
place corn deeper than the small grains
and the small grains deeper than the
grasses, but all farmers do not vary
these respe ;tive depths to suit the
different soils into which the seed are
placed, and yet it requires only a mo-
ments consideration to see that
heavy soil which lies close to the seed
admits of slighter covering than a
shifting, sandy one. Many interesting
experiments have been made from time
to tim in testing the terminating pow
ers of seed under different depths of
covering. In table prepared by
Professor Petri, showing the germina.
tiop of wheat at certain depths in the
ground, it appears that about three
fourths of the seed planted will come
up at depth of three inches, and near.
ly all at from one to two inches.
These and similar facts point to the
impol tance of every planters acquaint-
ing himself with the requirements of
the seeds to be planted, and regulat-
ing time and depth Of sowing to suit
the same. They also explain many
failures which have been laid to the
quality of the seed but this should not
lessen the zeal of farmers in their en-
deavors for good, pure article.
